Download or read book Identification and Screening of Remote Mine Detection Techniques written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the technical effort and results achieved for the task of identification and screening of promising remote sensing systems and other methods of detecting and identifying mines, minefields, minelaying equipment or minelaying operations and recommends continuing effort on the most promising methods. Systems considered under this task include systems presently in use, systems on which research and development is currently being conducted, and systems with potential for future development. Emphasis in the study was placed on detecting surface-laid minefields in the European theater with short detection reaction times. Continued effort is recommended on aerial photography, with particular attention paid to rapid processing and delivery of imagery to the local commander. Field tests of the Spotlight radar, being conducted under another task of this project, may give quantitative information of its mine detection capability, on the basis of which further effort on this type of radar can be planned. Of the electro-optical scanners, the active scanner most nearly approaches a 24-hour data collection capability, with multispectral scanners and passive infrared scanners having more restricted capability.

Book Synopsis Alternatives for Landmine Detection by : Jacqueline MacDonald Gibson
Download or read book Alternatives for Landmine Detection written by Jacqueline MacDonald Gibson and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2003 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the rate that government and nongovernmental organizations are clearing existing landmines, it will take 450-500 years to rid the world of them. Concerned about the slow pace of demining, the Office of Science and Technology asked RAND to assess potential innovative technologies being explored and to project what funding would be required to foster the development of the more promising ones. The authors of this report suggest that the federal government undertake a research and development effort to develop a multisensor mine detection system over the next five to eight years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea mines have been important in naval warfare throughout history and continue to be so today. They have caused major damage to naval forces, slowed or stopped naval actions and commercial shipping, and forced the alteration of strategic and tactical plans. The threat posed by sea mines continues, and is increasing, in today's world of inexpensive advanced electronics, nanotechnology, and multiple potential enemies, some of which are difficult to identify. This report assesses the Department of the Navy's capabilities for conducting naval mining and countermining sea operations.
Book Synopsis Detection of Remote Minefields Project Plan I. by : ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH INST OF MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR.
Download or read book Detection of Remote Minefields Project Plan I. written by ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH INST OF MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR. and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the minefield detection project is to determine the effectiveness of remote sensing systems and other methods of detecting and identifying mines, minefields, minelaying equipment, or minelaying operations, and to recommend continuing effort on the most promising this research and development program. This first project plan (Plan I) defines the work to be performed during the contract period with primary emphasis on the first years' effort. The project effort will concentrate on the European Theater of Operations. The terrain of interest is the West German border areas which are generally exemplified by flat plains to the north and rolling terrain to the south. Primary emphasis will be placed on detecting and identifying anti-tank (AT) and anti-vehicular (AV) mines, and will be directed toward hasty mining and minefields associated with tactical offensive operations (i.e., surface mines). Minefields may be detected by both direct observation or by inferential observations, and both approaches will be investigated. Work under the project concerned with each of the concepts to be investigated will be performed in a sequence of four major tasks: (1) identification and screening of promising techniques; (2) preliminary systems analysis and definition of experimental or other data acquisitions systems; (3) acquisition of critical data through experiment, literature survey, or access to SCI; and (4) evaluation of conceptual systems for technical and military usefulness. Four major scenarios for Soviet mine warfare operations have been adopted for analytical purposes.

Book Synopsis Remote Sensing for Area Reduction of Minefield Suspect Areas by : Ben H. P. Maathuis
Download or read book Remote Sensing for Area Reduction of Minefield Suspect Areas written by Ben H. P. Maathuis and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is more than 10 years ago that the Ottawa or Mine Ban Treaty has been signed and although considerable progress has been made still a formidable task is laying ahead to clean former war affected areas of landmines and unexploded ordnance around the world. There is a growing recognition that remote sensing could become a particular useful tool to provide valuable information for humanitarian mine action and to assist in the process of conventional minefield detection. Air and spaceborne systems, equipped with different sensors, can quickly and safely scan large (inaccessible) areas and the information obtained can contribute to the mapping and identification of suspect areas, identification and determination of the minefield boundaries and under favourable conditions even the identification and localization of individual mines. A methodology is presented to derive suitable direct and indirect image indicators which in combination with collected ancillary information, prior knowledge/intelligence, etc., can provide major keys towards successful identification and detection of suspect areas and minefields using standoff detection techniques.
Book Synopsis Implementing and Testing a Real-time Hierarchical Mine Detection Algorithm: by :
Download or read book Implementing and Testing a Real-time Hierarchical Mine Detection Algorithm: written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the project described in this report are to implement a previously developed hierarchical mine detection algorithm on a down-scaled version of a multi-sensor remote mine detection system for both real-time & non-real-time operation, and to test the system on images obtained from a number of sources such as active airborne infrared imagers (AAIR), hyperspectral imagers (CASI), and vehicle mounted passive infrared cameras (FLIR). This report first focusses on the implementation of a real-time system on transputer-workstation network to detect mines in synthetic AAIR, CASI and FLIR images. It then reports on the development of a non-real-time simulation of the algorithm for detecting mines in real FLIR images. Finally, suggestions for further development are discussed. A brief introduction of an expert system & its applicability to this project is included.
Book Synopsis Anti-personnel Landmine Detection for Humanitarian Demining by : Katsuhisa Furuta
Download or read book Anti-personnel Landmine Detection for Humanitarian Demining written by Katsuhisa Furuta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti-personnel Landmine Detection for Humanitarian Demining reports on state-of-the-art technologies developed during a Japanese National Research Project (2002–2007). The conventional method of landmine detection is using metal detectors to sense the metal in mines, but often other metal fragments in minefields camouflage landmines and hinder progress using this form of demining. The challenge is to develop detection systems that can discriminate between AP landmines and random metal fragments. The JST adopted research proposals and the results are reported here. This book concentrates on aspects of three approaches to AP mine detection: enhancing and confirming the results of metal-detection scans using GPR; using robot vehicles and manipulators to operate within minefields remotely; and methods of sensing the explosives within mines. Results are presented in the fields of GPR, nuclear quadrupole resonance, neutron thermal analysis and biosensors. The integration of these methods for workable robot operation is demonstrated. The project was carried out in conjunction with mine action centers in Croatia, Cambodia and Afghanistan. Evaluation data from field trials are also given.
Book Synopsis Detection of Explosives and Landmines by : Hiltmar Schubert
Download or read book Detection of Explosives and Landmines written by Hiltmar Schubert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of reliably detecting explosives, whether in buried landmines or hidden in cars, aircraft cargo, baggage, or carried by suicide bombers, has not yet been solved. Explosive device detection technology can make a major contribution to collective, family and individual security. This book reviews the state of the art in a wide range of different technologies and considers whether there are alternative methods or technologies. It includes information from experts about methods and field experience. The consensus is that current sensor technologies are inadequate for most mine action tasks and anti-terrorist activities (consider plastic mines) and no single sensor system will be able to meet all needs. Scientists must forge strong links with end users and should visit real minefields to acquire a clear understanding of the problems.
Book Synopsis Remote Mine Detection Technologies for Land and Water Environments by :
Download or read book Remote Mine Detection Technologies for Land and Water Environments written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The detection of mines, both during and after hostilities, is a growing international problem. It limits military operations during wartime and unrecovered mines create tragic consequences for civilians. From a purely humanitarian standpoint an estimated 100 million or more unrecovered mines are located in over 60 countries worldwide. This paper presents an overview of some of the technologies currently being investigated by Sandia National Laboratories for the detection and monitoring of minefields in land and water environments. The three technical areas described in this paper are: 1) the development of new mathematical techniques for combining or fusing the data from multiple sources for enhanced decision-making; 2) an environmental fate and transport (EF & T) analysis approach that is central to improving trace chemical sensing technique; and 3) the investigation of an underwater range imaging device to aid in locating and characterizing mines and other obstacles in coastal waters.

Download or read book Report on the Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) of the Vehicular- Mounted Mine Detection (VMMD) Systems at Aberdeen, Maryland, and Socorro, New Mexico written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents an analysis of the results of an advanced technology demonstration of five vehicular-mounted mine detection systems developed for the detection of antitank land mines. The five contractors were Coleman Research Corporation; Computing Devices Canada; EG & G, Inc.; GDE Systems, Inc.; and GeoCenters, Inc. The systems were developed for the U.S. Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate. The advanced technology demonstration took place at the Aberdeen Test Center, Aberdeen, Maryland, on June 8-19, 1998, and the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center, Socorro, New Mexico, on July 13-24, 1998. The purpose of the program is to develop the technology for a remotely operated vehicle that will detect mines and mark their locations during military mine-clearance operations. The system will ultimately consist of a mine overpass vehicle upon which is mounted a sensor system that detects mines and a communication system that provides data transfer between the detection vehicle and the remote operator. The mine threats include both metal-cased mines and mines with low-metal content. These mines may be laid on ground surface or buried underground. The report outlines the systems' performance, in particular their detection probability and false-alarm rates, compared to the program's requirements.
